Norway's HART, consists of ex-SEKS singer Rock Hart and Beatiful Beast's Julian Angel on lead guitar, as well as newly appointed member, ex-SEKS lead guitarist Steen Larsen.  Originally titled "Neon", the album's name was changed to "The Conqueror" after Hart felt the name did not match the content.

NOW!Will be Hot..

Here we go... We are Wolfbane and we released our first full length "Ace In The Hole" (which is available on itunes) in May 2012 and it got us the attention of someone in the business who truely believes in us our music and wants to pitch us to major record labels. However, in order to do that we needed to make a 3 song demo that's even better than the album and we have done that and an icon in the business is ready to mix and master it for us! We are going to work with Michael Wagener (He mixed Master of Puppets, enough said there) down in Nashville at the beginning of August and we need help! We've paid for the studio time, but we need gas, food, and hotel money!

The album is the latest step for the band who over the last few years have truly emerged onto a higher stage… bigger and better tours, triumphant festival slots, recording at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studios, artwork designed by Storm Thorgerson and new management all give the sense of act who are destined for greater things.

Much of this is down to the band’s 2010 album, Someone Here Is Missing, and the reaction it received. While this release, along with 2008’s Tightly Unwound, was many people’s introduction to the band they have actually spent the past ten years quietly building up a dedicated fan base across the globe, selling over 50,000 records and nurturing their ‘bittersweet’ progressive sound.

All The Wars marks another leap in the band’s progression, as frontman Bruce Soord continues to mature as a songwriter and the band’s ever growing confidence and status allows them to move in bold musical directions, including the use of a 22-piece string section and a choir. Soord explains, ‘no expense has been spared regarding the production of this record but at its heart it’s still a rock record. It’s very heavy in parts and very delicate and beautiful in others.’

NOW! IS a Funny!

80's style music, with some elements of the 50's & 60's. Partymusic with funny lyrics, not ment to be serious, though some songs have serious lyrics as well. Reccomended for all ages.

This album contains party music in 80's style. It is ment for the Norwegian market, but can be understood in the whole of Scandinavia. The lyrics are written in a humoristic style, and many of the songs have a nice dancebeat. Reccomended for people who wants to have fun before or after going out to town or to other places. Many of the songs will make you in a good mood. The music fits all ages, from youngsters to grown up people with a young mind...

HELSTAR began their epic journey back in 1984 with the release of their debut ‘Burning Star’. Since then, they’ve created quite a legacy for themselves, evolving more and more from just basic Heavy Metal to more of a hybrid of Speed and Thrash Metal. Despite hiccups along the way, including nearly a twelve year hiatus from 1995 to 2007, the band came back and proved they were still true to their formula with another three albums that still ran well with critics and fans alike. Now, thirty years later and still going for it, this Texan outfit felt it was time to celebrate in a live fashion. ‘30 Years…’ isn’t the first live album that HELSTAR has released, but it spans over 20 tracks of fan favorites and choice cuts. All recorded in the band’s hometown of Houston, the crisp production lets listeners hear the music on an intense level that will appeal to most fans of Thrash in general. Let it be noted to new listeners that this is not Modern Thrash or Modern Metal. The expectation of crushing riffs mixed with harsh and clean vocals are not going to be present. For the most part, the base of the music is going to sound like Power Metal with tracks like ‘Suicidal Nightmare’ and ‘Harker’s Tale’.

NOW!

It’s been a long time since the city of Aberdeen has produced a hard rock band capable of making a dent in the UK music scene. By my reckoning you have to think back to progressive rockers Pallas as being the last truly great hard rock outfit to come out of the Granite City and that was more years ago than I care to remember. Well my friends I think the wait is over with the arrival of The Ruckus and their debut album ‘Nothing To Lose’ who, in my opinion, have the talent and most of all the chops to go all the way.

"They play with death as with other cards ..." The Slaughters

There was a time when I wondered if the French metal scene would finally explode in the face of the world! I think in France we will have to wait a long time! I will not deny that cares a little too much the balls! Yet! Yet in our country there is talent! Many talents just waiting to be known and recognized! Since the time I listen to metal bands French I think it's time to put the record straight. Yes, in France we have a good big sound to our ears of metalheads! This is not Metal Zone that say otherwise ...

After re-issuing the self-titled debut 2009 release as “Svölk 'Em All” in 2011 through Napalm Records, Norway’s own “bear metal” act Svölk has returned for more reefer blazing debauchery with “Nights Under the Round Table.” Now before you go thinking that Svölk is all about fun times getting high, the new album, more so than its predecessor, presents some seriously impressive riffs that catch you "on guard," especially if you have come to know the band. While the album is no trailblazer, it is worth a listen for those that need to satisfy that Sabbath sweet leaf....er, tooth!
